Mike Young made the nomination of Perry King as Vice Chair, with Secretary Neal Allman, which was approved unanimously. Mike Young then called for approval of the minutes from the previous meeting. Perry King made the motion to accept the minutes as written, David Sadler seconded the motion —minutes approved unanimously. First on the agenda was a request for variance at 202 West High Street. Julie K has purchased the property and said that the property would continue as a law office with mixed use development. She believed the use of the property as a small law office would continue to add to the historic charm of the Mooresville downtown development. Mike Young called for questions from the BZA and then the public, then in the absence of question called for a motion. Perry King made the motion to approve the variance, Charles McGuire seconded and the motion carried unanimously. John Larrison of Holloway Engineering then presented a variance request for East Neitzel Road on behalf of his client Steven Park. Mr. Park owns 17.5 acre parcel on the the corner of Kitchen Road and East Neitzel Road. Mr. Park's grandparents purchased the land in 1936. Mr. Larrison outlined a history of the transactions for the land in question. • The Park Farm was originally 39.5 acres in size. • In 2017, the Parks were approached by the owner of the land on the western edge of their property to buy 20 acres off the western portion of the Parks' property. At the time the Lavallas family wished to deed 5 acres to their son. In the interest of expediency and expense, the sale, division and platting were included in the same transaction. • Holloway Engineering made a logistical mistake at the time and cut off the existing home on the property on Lot Lm2 went to Steve Park and Lot3 was divided into 15.5 and 4.5 acre plats. Mr. Larrison was asking for relief for his clients —the 19.5 acres parcel should've been platted as Lott and Lot2. A large part of the reason for the minor plat were to deal with subdivisions of smaller size (20 acres being "the magic number" for the subdivision control ordinance). Currently only Lotl uses the existing drive, which as built recently at a fairly steep expense according to Mr. Larrison. The Lavallas son is the only resident using the drive. Lot2 has an existing driveway. The proposed plat would incorporate only a single driveway. The red markings on the map handed out by Mr. Larrison also showed a 2 acre minor plat that Mr. Park will request to replat in a future meeting. Perry King asked how far away from the property is the closest city sewer connection and Mr. Larrison replied "a good long ways away". Mr. Austin Lavallas state that he believes the city sewer ends at Mt. Gilead's new church building off 144 and Kitchen Road. Mike Young called for comments or questions, and in their absence called for a motion. Charles McGuire motioned to accept the requested for replat, Neal Allman seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mike Young then called for old or new business, and then called for an adjournment. Secretary
